@ All
This is way heavy for the rough end of a Wednesday!

And to maybe clarify a bit more about my comment (as per Humpty's comment above). It's not the fact that she wants to be a mother that I find disturbing, that's normal. It's the overwhelming desire to have a kid and damn the consequences. I don't detest the idea of little Smurfs (although I doubt that will happen and if it does, I want to go adoption), but it's not the right time.

Maybe it's just me being idealist. I was lucky enough to have been born in to a fairly middle-class family amd I had a fantastic upbringing. And I want any child of mine to have an even better upbringing than I did, as I'm sure do a lot of parents. However I wouldn't want to have a child at this stage of my life because I wouldn't be able to provide it with the upbringing I want it to have. Financially anyway. I want the best for it.

And I don't think they are doing that. I'm not saying it would have a bad upbringing, but I think it could have a better upbringing.
